Frog on a cross! Or: The pope has no sense of humor

Pope Benedict XVI may not know art, but he knows what he likes. And he doesn’t like this frog. For obvious reasons.

A reasonable person might just look at it, chuckle and roll their eyes. A reasonable person might see the whimsy and the message the artist was trying to convey. No one has ever accused Pope Benedict XVI of being a reasonable person.

And just what message is it that justifies offending so many millions whose faith is centered on their love for Jesus. This is insensitive at best and bigoted at worst. Can any “reasonable person” claim that this would not arouse condemnation if directed at any other religious group?
